Recorded between 1925 and 1947
The CD booklet contains an essay (in English, French and German) about Goossens and his art by Melvin Harris which has recieved much praise - "Melvin Harris' excellently supportive booklet note" (Classical Music Web); "Melvin Harris, author of the excellent insert note" (Gramophone). There are photographs from Goossens' early and middle life, including some not seen before.
Of Léon Goossens it was once said: "There is perhaps only one other musician who can so etherialise his instrument. One thinks of Casals and his cello."
But it was not always so. In his early days Léon Goossens was dissatisfied with the models he was expected to emulate. His first teacher was Charles Reynolds, the renowned lead oboist of the Hallé Orchestra. Great though he was at teaching breath control and practice passages, his tone and phrasing held no magic for his young pupil. Etherealisation was absent from a tone that was broad, without vibrato and, as Léon put it, "bullish". Indeed, to mute his instrument, Reynolds used to hang a robust pocket handkerchief over his music stand and project into it!
Later studies at London's Royal College of Music brought no real inspiration, for the oboe professor there was William Malsch, a kindly man, but an unlovely player. He was dropped from the Queen's Hall Orchestra since his tone set Sir Henry Wood's teeth on edge. An American critic agreed, when he wrote "His tone bites like sulphuric acid".
The great breakthrough came when Léon heard the Belgian oboist Henri De Busscher play at the Queen's Hall. De Busscher's playing was delicate and expressive, with a marvellous singing quality about it. His long, sensitive phrases were a marvel. His cameo-like tone was endowed with a warm vibrato. This was the inspiration that Léon had yearned for. Night after night he listened out for De Busscher's solos, then went back to his room to emulate and aim for the same subtle and singing control over his oboe. He was an eager and gifted pupil, so much so that when De Busscher left for New York, Henry Wood chose the 16-year-old Goossens to take his place. copyright Melvin Harris, 2002 |

Kolekce: Russian Cello SchoolPodkolekce: Piano, Violin and Cello
The instrumental works of Italian composers of the 18th century are attractive to contemporary audiences due to their unique and artistic qualities; exceptional authenticity and simple melodies, the delicacy of rhythm and the vibrancy of the aural palette. When combined with a clear and well-constructed form, with a masterful use of cantilena and the virtuosic possibilities of bowed string instruments, the violin and cello works of Italian composers of that period present themselves as a veritable treasure trove of world instrumental classics.
Professor Lev Borisovich Evgrafov (1934-2021). His playing was marked by great liveliness, virtuosity, subtle sense of style and deep musical erudition.
Recorded on October 21, 1979 from a concert at the Concert Hall of the Gnessin State Music and Pedagogical Institute, Moscow.
